Well...It's Friday...

If anyone could help me shark the black Recluse today, it would be greatly appreciated. It needs to join its brothers in my Fiddle group.
 
Well that might have been a first. :D And therein lies the danger of sharking while working. I can laugh about it now several minutes later.

@onedog, glad I could be of service ;)

@swo, thanks!
 
Okay so today I see a Fiddleback grail. A stainless padre of course. So, I figure what the heck. I leave a project I'm on and head back to the house to use a stable internet connection. On the way there school traffic is beyond ridiculous. At that point I say to myself, I better pull over, clear out all the cache on my phone, reboot it and let the LTE gods work their magic. No kidding, it's probably 2:59.50 I'm refreshing like a beast, pages are loading quick as can be, then just when I think there could be the slightest chance this could work.................

BOOM! - Incoming call!!!!!!!! What the .... ??? My wife!! Quite possibly the work timing ever! Still shaking my head:grumpy:

I swear she knew something was up.

Oh well, congrats to those lucky few.

And you still managed to shark 2. Well done sir. :D
 
I wanted that Bog Oak Huntsman so badly!!! :grumpy:

Man...that happened fast! Congrats regardless. Even when I don't win, I love this game! :)

No problem. It looked like boilerplate anyway... It was super funny for me since I was doing the same thing and had an email open with my response drafted so I could cut and paste. Then it dawned on me that I had just sent an email at about 2:50 that might have my bosses come pay a visit to cubeland.

Now that I scored the knife, I'll have to figure out how to keep my Mother in Law from using the rolling pin to baton it through the bones. Really, I rounded the corner recently and there she was batoning my chef's knife through a pork loin to break it down into pork chops. Knife seemed ok, but the rolling pin took a pretty good hit.

It was. I just got super paranoid when I realized what I had done. But in hindsight, no biggie.

LOL... you might want to look into a locking case for that one.

Dude, I can sooooo empathize with that instance. This time around what I find most annoying is that my favorite knife to come out of the forge yet is there this week, is still in the thread taunting me, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Life does indeed have some moments here and there that just really suck @$$!.... :)

So did you take the call or decline it? I know what I would have done. :D

I think Sergio's response was, "Hi honey, I have had a very frustrating afternoon with "business" not going as planned. The good news is I found $480 in the checking account that I didn't expect to be there, so let's go out for a romantic evening together ;)..."

You have to make the most of the the cards you are dealt.

Hahahahahaha sounds like something I might have done...though lowering the number a smidge for a head start on the next sharking :D

Haha. Either way, it disrupted the signal. Standard voice calls automatically switch the carrier signal to standard 4G and that slows down my speed. I tried ignoring the call and went to refresh the webpage, but the damage was already done. :grumpy:

Nice play Phil :thumbup: Unfortunately, disclosing such information to my wife would quickly shift gears from a romantic evening out to.. "Let's go look a that purse/shoes/jewelry I was telling you about." I would much rather have prepared a romantic meal at home, slicing and dicing with my new stainless Padre. :D
